House of Redemption by Kathy Finfrock Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Horror

• Who is your favorite character in House of Redemption?

I would say my favorite is Louis simply because he makes me smile. He is quite charismatic and enjoys the ladies. All the ladies. It doesn’t matter if they are young or old, tall or short, fat or thin. He loves them all and they love him.

• Are the characters based on real people you know? 

I would say inspired by and the answer is not all of them, but a few.  Louis is based on a former boss I had. That man would flirt up anyone in a skirt. Married or single, he would take your breath away and leave you feeling warm and tingly and then off he would go. He was such fun. Unlike Louis, he sincerely loved and appreciated  women. He  was not a player as far as I know.  I still smile when I think of him many years later.  I also had a little pity for him as his wife did not appreciate his flirtatious ways. He might have been a bit scared of her. 

• Sounds like you really liked him. Why would you invite him to Blackstone?

Because everyone has a dark side and appearances are deceiving. Some people are better at hiding their true face than others and this is true of Louis. 

Eight unscrupulous guests have been invited to the centuries old Blackstone Resorts. Each patron has his or her own reason for needing an escape from unpleasant circumstances. Tensions mount quickly as, one-by-one, they come to face their worst nightmare. Will they repent their evil ways or remain in Blackstone for the rest of their lives?

LouIsa: Iron Dove of the Frontier by Will Edwinson Genre: Western Historical Fiction

THE IRON DOVE OF THE FRONTIER...

At twenty-one, LouIsa was already a sagacious woman. She had been privileged to attend finishing schools in the East where she learned the ways of "Ladyship" and studied piano under the tutorship of masters, becoming proficient with the classical works of Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, and many others.

LouIsa: Iron Dove of the Frontier is a story about a tough, but well-educated genteel woman of quiet strength who, when it became necessary, could get down and dirty and fight as adeptly as the best gutter rats. But also, when necessary, she could don a party dress and be perfectly comfortable with Vassar graduates.

Buddy... His Trials and Treasures 

by Will Edwinson 

Genre: Contemporary Historical Fiction 

Do you need a little stress relief in your life?

Travel back to the world of Buddy Crawford, a simpler, slower- paced world where Cokes were a nickel, movie tickets were a dime, and ten cents bought you a double dip ice cream cone. These engaging, award-winning stories about a young boy growing up in rural America during the 1940s provide a relaxing respite from today's fast-paced world. They may even revive old memories of your own childhood.

Follow Buddy and Cousin Mont as they gather beer and pop bottles from the roadway barrowpits. Join him and his friends at the river swimming hole for a swim, or go fishing for carp in the irrigation canal. Experience the fun as he tours the countryside in an old Model T Ford with his friends. What better way to spend a relaxing two hours than immersing yourself in these stories.

Buddy is somewhat reminiscent of Tom Sawyer in that he quite often finds himself in hot water. Unlike Tom, Buddy's misdeeds are without forethought. They happen because Buddy is...well...he's just Buddy.

Deadly Legends A Boxed Set feat. Silent Echoes and Silent Obsession by Melissa Bourbon Genre: Romantic Suspense

What inspired you to write this book? (Deadly Legends)

My husband is a first generation Mexican American. His parents came to the US as part of the bracero program long ago. Through my husband and his family, I’ve learned so much about the Mexican culture. We’ve worked hard to bring this culture to our five kids. Our three oldest boys live in the Los Angeles area and just held their own tamalada (a tamale making party), which is one of our family’s biggest traditions.

I remember the first time I heard the story of la Llorona—the crying woman. It is kind of a boogeyman legend meant to keep children in bed. We were camping and my husband told the story (he’s a very good storyteller, complete with sound effects and voices), spooking the kids. I became fascinated with the legend.

Years later, I came back to the legend, researching it and discovering the different versions of it. Those versions are the basis for Silent Obsession. The legend of chupacabra, another creepy urban legend, is the basis for Silent Echoes. I love these books so much.

Vic and Ray Vargas are the two brothers featured in these two books. They are sigh-worthy heroes. I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have!

National Bestselling author Melissa Bourbon brings dark twists to two Latin-American urban legends guaranteed to keep you up into the wee hours. With riveting suspense, sigh-worthy romances with heart-stopping heroes, beautiful writing, and characters that jump off the page, these thrilling romantic suspense novels will have you believing in curses and ghosts. 

For the first time, Silent Echoes and Silent Obsession are together in this boxed set. Get ready for a thrill-ride… 

Silent Echoes 

Something deadly waits in the shadows… 

On a Texas night twelve years ago, Vic Vargas kissed Delaney West so deeply that she almost came apart. Later that same night, evil crept into Delaney’s room as she slept – and everything in their world fell apart. Now Vic is a rancher living a half-empty life punctuated by one-night stands and a strained relationship with his 11-year-old son. 

Then Delaney returns to San Julio, and the past comes rushing back… along with the silent echoes of that night so long ago. Livestock are dying. Some say coyote, but others whisper another darker word. Chupacabra. Bloodsucker. 

The past hasn’t disappeared – nor has the instinctive desire that snaps and crackles between Delaney and Vic. And as those emotions ignite, so does the evil that hibernated for the last twelve years. The evil that waited for Delaney to return to San Julio… and to Vic Vargas. 

Silent Obsession 

Johanna Rios is a woman whose past has come back to haunt her. 

The ghost of la Llorona is said to haunt the riverbanks, always searching for her drowned child. She also haunts high school teacher Johanna Rios, whose own mother believed so deeply in the legend she tried to drown her daughters. And now the ghost has become real, a young woman murdered, and the safe world Jo created is falling apart. 

Since returning home from his last tour of duty to become a school principal, Ray Vargas has fought his attraction for his employee, the sensual woman who’d once been the girl next door. But the Llorona Killer will not stop until he claims his final victim—Johanna—and Ray will do anything to protect the woman he’s come to love. 

With a serial killer out to prove the curse is real, will Ray and Johanna’s future be drowned in the ghostly waters of the past? Or will the power of their love give them the strength to stop a killer…and heal their wounded hearts…?

Storiebook Charm A Spellbound Novel 1 by Melissa Bourbon Genre: Light Paranormal Romance

A Bit About Me

I have five children, and anyone who knows anything about daycare, knows that by the time I had two, most of my salary as a middle school English teacher went to daycare expenses. I did the most logical thing—I stepped away from teaching to stay home with the kids. I’d toyed with the idea of writing before that. This was years ago, before Young Adult fiction had become a thing. I thought I’d keep my brain actively engaged by writing something my students would like reading.

I wrote a book about a classroom of students who are all on task at the same time. Shocking! It causes a time travel episode, taking them all back to Ellis Island where they have to make their way through in order to get back to the present. I still love this book, though it resides only in a file now.

Fast forward six years and three kids later. My writing had ebbed, but I was ready to get back to it. I started with a character. Before long, there was a family, a setting, and a mystery. That became my first published book. I’ve always written mysteries, but longed to delve into stories that were a little darker. I’m fortunate to be able to write full time now. Those darker stories came in the form of Silent Echoes and Silent Obsessions (combined in the Deadly Legends boxed set) are those books. They are based on urban legends I have always been fascinated with. I hope you’ll find them interesting, too!

From National Bestselling author Melissa Bourbon comes a small town magical story with a heart-stopping hero, a sigh-worthy romance, beautiful writing, and characters that jump off the page. Get ready to be charmed by Storie and Reid, and watch out for the twist! 

Storie Bell is a witch. Not the kind that lives in Harry Potter's world. No, she is more like Glinda, the good witch of the North, minus the munchkins and Dorothy. But a witch trying to blend in in a small southern town is no easy feat. She’s grown up believing that mortals and witchcraft don't mix. 

Storie thinks the biggest threat to her future—opening The Storiebook Cafe, where happy endings begin— is Reid Malone, the very man she ran away from years before. He seems hell bent on getting in the way of her bookstore’s grand opening. But when a mysterious woman from Storie’s past shows up and makes claims that leave Storie confused, she rethinks her entire future.

Bigfoot Lives Forever in Idaho 

Bigfoot Lives Book 3 

All of us have had moments where life is suspended in time, when life seems frozen in an amazing snap shot. Occasionally we pull that experience out from the recesses of our mind - to look at it, to savor it, and to experience it again. It is at times like these when you wonder if you really saw what you think you just saw, like those times where you just can’t quite believe your eyes – like say, when you saw your first Bigfoot.

“It was bigger than anything I have ever seen – really tall and furry from head to toe! It was just so surprising – I didn’t expect to run into anything on a trip to the bathroom.”

“They are smart, and they can sit still for a really long time. Besides, they have the whole forest to hide in; no wonder people don’t see them real often.”

“I didn’t believe in Bigfoot, I thought it was a hoax. Now I believe it and I look at every bear track differently. I know they are up there. It’s one thing to think you see it and it’s another thing entirely to have one scare you half to death! Why lie when the truth is so much more amazing?”

Read along as more stories are told of the amazing Bigfoot who have been seen right here in Idaho – some of them near your own home.
